Happiest Baby, Inc is voluntarily issuing a recall of its extra-small (XS) and extra-large (XL) SNOO Sacks® that were purchased in the U.S.
Reason for this recall:
This action follows communication from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advising Happiest Baby that the XS and XL SNOO Sacks were not reviewed for safety and effectiveness by the FDA and have not received the required FDA premarket authorization.
Potential risk to health:
Extra-Small
The XS SNOO Sack is similar to the FDA authorized small SNOO Sack, but it is ¾” narrower and 2” shorter.
The FDA stated that the change in dimensions could potentially result in a fit being too tight. To date, Happiest Baby has not received any reports of injury in connection with the use of the XS SNOO Sacks.
Extra-Large
The XL SNOO Sack is similar to the FDA authorized large SNOO Sack, but ½” wider and 3” longer.
The FDA stated that the change in dimensions could potentially result in the sack bunching up at the top, towards the baby’s face, or make it easier for a smaller baby to break free inside the sack. To date, Happiest Baby has not received any reports of injury in connection with the use of the XL SNOO Sacks.
How to recognize if your SNOO Sack does not fit properly:
Extra-Small
A fit that is excessively tight would be noticeable at the time of dressing. The sack would be difficult to zip fully closed.
Extra-Large
An oversized fit is noticeable at the time of dressing the baby: the sack would sit loosely around the chest or bunch up at the top.
